Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

There are still two days until the match day.

The war of public opinion has already begun.

Sampdoria will host Roma.

Three consecutive wins, first place.

Two wins and one draw in the series, ranking second.

One is a dark horse that suddenly appeared in the blue and white market.

One is a formidable team from the capital that has started the season undefeated.

More importantly...

The winner of this match.

They will directly top the Serie A standings.

Local media in Rome were the first to start building momentum.

The Italian sports newspaper, Corriere dello Sport, ran the headline directly:

Roma's undefeated team aims for the top of the table, with Spalletti seeking to end the underdog's run!

The sports section of The Messenger is even more fiery:

From San Siro back to Ferraris: Can Lin Qi continue his miracle? The Roman defense will provide the real answer!

The Corriere della Sera, Rome edition, wrote more cautiously:

Three clean sheets are no accident: De Rossi, Nainggolan, and Rüdiger will face the ultimate test of Serie A's hottest strikers!

The core stance of the Roman media is very clear.

Sampdoria is very popular.

Lin Qi is very strong.

But Roma is not AC Milan.

Undefeated in the first three rounds.

Not a single goal conceded.

If Roma can defeat Sampdoria away from home, they will not only end their underdog story but also climb to the top of the table.

The titles are getting bigger and bigger.

His tone was becoming more and more like that of someone going to war.

Rome aims for an undefeated record.

Rome aims for the top spot.

Roma wants to remind Serie A who the real title contenders are.

Meanwhile, the South Korean media...

The style remains familiar.

You can almost smell the sourness through the screen.

Seoul Sports wrote:

Rumors circulate that Manchester United are interested in Lin Qi? With Son Heung-min already in the Premier League, the race for Asian strikers doesn't need a second protagonist.

Another portal's sports channel had a more direct headline:

If Wakabayashi were to join the Premier League, he must first understand one thing: it has become Son Heung-min's battlefield.

The main text appears to be objective.

In fact, every sentence is barbed.

"Lin Qi's start in Serie A was indeed amazing, but the intensity of the Premier League is far beyond that of Serie A teams."

"If he does join Manchester United in the future, then unfortunately, he will first have to face not European superstars, but Son Heung-min, who has already established himself at Tottenham."

"The benchmark for Asian players in the Premier League already exists. If Lin Qiruo rashly goes there, he's likely to suffer a crushing defeat!"

Japanese media, on the other hand, have a completely different style.

It even carries a kind of passion reminiscent of an anime trailer.

Tokyo Sports headline:

Rising Star vs. Pharaoh's Wings! Lin Qi vs. Salah, who will be the new speed king of Asia and Africa?!

The Japanese edition of Football Digest goes even further:

The hat-trick wonder of San Siro is about to face the Nile lightning! Lin Qi and Salah, their fateful night is about to descend upon Ferrari!

Another online sports media outlet wrote directly:

The Blue and White Miracle Returns! Can Lin Qi, the New King of China, Slay the Roman Legion? Salah will be the trial gate on his path to the throne!

In the UK.

Sky Sports also followed up with a report.

The title is relatively calm, but it contains a lot of information.

Multiple top clubs are interested in Lin Qi, causing the Sampdoria striker's value to soar to €4000 million!

During the program, the host cited Romano's sources.

"Information from Italy indicates that several top European clubs are closely monitoring Lin Qi."

"Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and several Premier League teams have all sent scouts to continuously monitor his performance."

"In the latest Transfermarkt valuation update, Lin Qi's valuation has been raised to 4000 million euros."

"Given his age, market potential, and explosive performance in the first three rounds, this number could still continue to rise."

The report also emphasized this point.

If Lin Qi scores again against Roma in the next round.

His market price will spiral out of control further.

Because beating Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan is already quite an achievement.

If they can break through Roma's defense, which hasn't conceded a single goal in the first three rounds.

That means:

His outburst was not accidental.

They don't just bully teams that are out of form.

Rather, they truly possess the ability to continuously destroy the defenses of strong teams.

Within China.

The media frenzy has completely exploded.

Sports Weekly headline:

The "Lin Qi Effect" sweeps across Europe: Serie A broadcasting rights prices rebound, and multiple Chinese platforms rush to broadcast the games.

The Football News wrote:

Can one player's breakout performance revitalize an entire league? Lin Qirang brings Serie A back into the prime-time discussion forums of China.

A major portal's sports channel directly used a striking headline:

Changes brought about by Lin Qi: Multiple TV stations purchase Serie A broadcasting rights, video platforms vie for Sampdoria broadcasting rights.

The report mentioned this.

Due to Lin Qi's explosive performances in three consecutive rounds, the Chinese market's attention to Serie A has surged.

The broadcasting rights for Serie A, which had previously cooled down, have suddenly become sought after again.

Several television stations have begun to purchase additional broadcasting rights.

Video websites are also urgently following suit.

Sampdoria's matches, in particular, have been included as a key promotional resource.

Some commentators even believe that:

Lin Qizheng single-handedly brought Chinese viewers back to Serie A.

This traffic benefits not only Sampdoria.

Other Serie A teams will also benefit.

In a short time.

The topic of Serie A's revival.

Surprisingly, it's starting to get hyped up again.

Needless to say, the comments section for Chinese fans is also filled with such comments.

They've long been inseparable.

[South Korean media are being sarcastic again! But it's no use being sarcastic, Lin Qi is currently number one on the Serie A top scorer list!]

[What's wrong with Son Heung-min in the Premier League? Does he have a high status in the team?! Stop exaggerating! Son doesn't even get basic respect at Tottenham! Their goalkeeper dares to yell at him, is that what you call a core player?!]

What kind of treatment did Lin Qi receive at Sampdoria? The whole team revolved around him, and the coach even consulted him before making substitutions! Can you compare that? One was treated like a cog in a machine by a top club, the other was treated like a king by his team!

The more anxious the South Korean media are, the more afraid they are!

Some people are also starting to worry about the intensity of the match in Rome.

[I heard Roma are going all out for this match! De Rossi and Nainggolan are no joke in midfield, they're like meat grinders! They really shouldn't ruin Lin Qi!]

The biggest fear right now isn't losing, it's getting injured! Roma's defense is much tougher than Milan's! Milan got carried away with their losses, while Roma probably aimed to injure key players from the start!

The referee must protect them! Don't let them get away with it!

Another group of fans started discussing Manchester United rumors.

[Does Manchester United really want to buy Lin Qi? Would he be comfortable there? Would Mourinho use him?]

[Don't go! The pressure at a top club is too much! He's doing so well at Sampdoria, the whole team trusts him! If he goes to Manchester United, and they make him drop back to be a pivot, he'll be the scapegoat even more!]

[It's not that I can't go to a top club, but don't rush it now! Being the core player of a smaller team is better than going to jail for a top club! Let's at least finish this season first!]

Some fans have become completely addicted to gambling.

[Stop talking, I've bet on Sampdoria to remain unbeaten!]

I'm betting on Lin Qi to score!

I bet on Sampo and I'll win!

[Roma kept a clean sheet in the first three rounds? That's perfect for Lin Qi to break!]

Brothers, I'm going all in this game!

Be careful, Rome is very strong!

[What's there to be afraid of? Lin's father will step in! I just need Lin Qi to get one of them in first, then my job will be done!]

Of course, there are also relatively rational analyses.

This match against Roma is a real test for Sampdoria!! They were strong in the first three games, but Roma are in such good form right now.

Yes! The midfield of De Rossi and Nainggolan is incredibly tough! Salah is also fast. Sampdoria's defense can't just focus on Lin Qi scoring; if Sampdoria pushes too high, Salah will launch a counter-attack and exploit the space behind their defense, which will be troublesome!

This match might be even tougher than Milan's! Milan's mentality collapsed first, but Roma won't collapse so easily!
